Bug ID: 1319249
           Summary: incorrect use of Requires(pre)?
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: ghostscript-fonts
          Assignee: [e-mail]

We've identified your package for having `Requires(pre)` RPM flag without
`Requires` [1]. `Requires(pre)` rpm tag could be interpreted wrongly, so to
prevent any harm to Fedora users I am notifying you about this fact.

Any package that is specified in `Requires(pre)` could be freely removed.
Citing from RPM pages:
```
If there are no other dependencies on the package providing /usr/sbin/useradd,
that package is permitted to be removed from the system after installation(!)
``` [2]

If you really rely on dependency just during the installation process and your
package don't necessary require the dependency for the proper run of your
application then ignore this bug report and close it as NOTABUG. Otherwise add
to your spec file additional `Requires` for the dependency, please.

--- Comment #3 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

ghostscript-fonts is deprecated by urw-base35-fonts in Fedora 27+, so I will
not fix this issue.
